C++ alarms and surprises me, to be fair.

>If I'm REALLY turned on, how long does it take for me to go from "I wanna use this" to "I am using this"?

I'm glad this is a concern. I maintain software to the effect of buttplug.io and a particular inspiration to start the project was how difficult alternatives were to get going with. I don't want to install anything, or register anywhere, I just want to get my rocks off!

And thank you for buttplug.io. It's super easy to integrate!

I realise this isn't much of a question, sorry :)

Oh, I don't know, I don't mean to slander Librewolf. I'm just saying that intermediaries are sure to cause some kind of inefficiency.

I suppose I should finally switch to Librewolf.

I really don't like Firefox forks, for the slow updates and because I do genuinely use some bleeding edge features, but I'm tired of Mozilla.

> Maybe not to places like North Korea (which we don't have a presence in anyways)

Sure they don't ;)

That seems a bit rude. You get the QA you paid for - zero.

And nevertheless, whenever Windows software doesn't work in Wine, you shouldn't think "Wow, how did you fuck that up?". They never promised it'd work in WSL.

IMO marking the row as generated makes its intent clearer. It also means less code - no generating UUIDs, shorter queries = more robust.

For my workloads at least, I think it's worth the tradeoff of forcing Postgres to muster 15 random bytes.

The experience is pretty poor in Australia too. Texts are more common than calls, but the rate is roughly 1/day.

It doesn't seem like that odd of a choice. What else would you use?

Not really! In modern Linux specifically it's just a regular user group, but it's the de-facto standard name of the "administrator" group - users who can escalate to root privileges.

You might not even have wheel anymore; Debian just calls it "sudo" now.

I'm Australian and concur that OP sounds full of himself.

Telling self-righteous... friends, to wind their neck in is far more Australian than OP's behaviour.

To clarify, I have no problem with his style of writing, which is great, but "I am clearly better than most of my competition"? Lord, get a grip.

$50 seems a bit steep for a 3D-printed RFID tag.
